The Alef Bet Adventures computer program by Davka is supposed to be very good.

There is an old but very effective video out there called Lamdeni (I'm not sure who put it together but it is from Britain). There are also work books all geared for young children. I don't use the workbooks, however, my Kg. students love the video which we watch a few segments at a time over the course of a few months.

I am looking for an Aleph Bais curriculum to teach the letters, sounds, and vowels to Kindergarten aged kids that have not learned the letters. Any ideas?

If you are still looking there is Aleph Bais Champ, Its a great all inclusice curriculum

The key to a good Aleph Bais curriculum is for educators to understand and appreciate how learning is done.
An American baby hears for months before speaking.  He then learns some language basics through a combination of listening and practicing what he has learned by speaking.  Only when we believe this foundation to be strong enough to we start introducing the written system by teaching the symbols, the sound symbol association, phonics, writing, and so forth.
This would require that rather than using English words to anchor aleph bais sounds we take a step back and introduce Hebrew vocabulary and language the year before.  Building on a properly established foundation.

Have you tried the EZ Alef materials? These are wonderful tools to teach the Alef bais beyond recognition only. They help the children internalize the letters. I've been using the EZ Alef products and it's amazing to see how much they help in teaching the Alef Beis and how much the kids enjoy them.  The multisensory approach works wonders in helping the kids, each with their own learning style, grasp the letters quickly while having lots of fun. All the best,
